Accompanied by a full-color catalogue and curated by Deborah Martin, the exhibit will also include historic works of the area.

The Salton Sea History Museum is located inside of the historic North Shore Beach & Yacht Club on the north shore of the Salton Sea. Recently restored, this architectural landmark was designed by famed mid-century architect Albert Frey, who went on to design many homes and buildings in Palm Springs. The Club was a favorite hangout of the Beach Boys, Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra and many other entertainers during it’s heyday in the 1950s and 60s.

Amongst numerous artist talks and lectures during April, Eric Merrell, Andrew Dickson, and myself will speak at the Salton Sea History Museum on April 23 from 1-3 pm on “The Artist’s Eye: Landscape Painting in the Desert”, covering our individual approaches to painting on location in the desert.
